The Honduran national football team, nicknamed Los Catrachos, La Bicolor, or La H, is the national team of Honduras and is controlled by the Federación Nacional Autónoma de Fútbol de Honduras, FENAFUTH (founded in 1951). They are a rising team in CONCACAF, an ascent that started with their third place finish in the 2001 Copa América, where they were a late invitee, due to a withdrawal by Argentina one day prior to kickoff. In October 2009, they confirmed qualification to the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which was their first appearance in the competition since 1982.
